Plate
The plate is circular in shape, with a plain rim pinched in places. It is complete, except for a small chip on the rim. The rim is thick and rounded. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the wall is curved and the base is slightly domed. On the reverse, the plate rests on a ring-shaped foot. The background is recessed and flat; the decoration is applied by underglaze printing (Transfer printed) and painted overglaze, in polychrome pink, green, black, orange, yellow and blue. The motif is an animal. The decoration is applied on the rim, on the edge of the wing, on the wing and on the bottom of the face. The rim is covered with gold plaster. The edge of the wing is decorated with a narrow braid in black. It is decorated with two different motifs, repeated in alternation. The main motif is a row of elongated links alternating with a rhombus, painted in gilding. This motif is interrupted in the corners by a row of four blue-painted plant motifs, surrounded by two curved bands of different widths, painted in red and gold. The wing is decorated with two similar floral motifs, repeated in alternation. One features two aligned leafy and flowery stems, painted in green, pink and blue, with a gold-painted ribbon at one end. The other floral motif has no ribbon. The central motif is encircled by a fillet surmounted by spearheads pointing downwards; traced in black, these elements are painted in gold. The main scene features two birds and flowers. The birds, multicolored male and female peacocks, are to the left of the motif; they stand in profile to the right on stylized rocks painted in black and orange. The rocks rest on an uneven terrace, painted pale green. A leafy, flowering stem rises behind the rocks. Opposite the birds are rocks, behind which rise leafy, flowering stems, including at least one pink peony.
